Thanks to a great hold in the late fall, and a depressed league average, The Voice actually pulled off its highest-ever A18-49+ ratings on a main night. Throw in Blindspot, another very worthy entry in the post-Voice tradition that includes Revolution and The Blacklist, and this was one of NBC's best fall Monday lineups on record.

Even as Superstore was a legitimate success in the lead-off role, this went down as one of NBC's weakest between-Voice lineups. The Biggest Loser was a long way from its last stint as winter filler in 2013, and Telenovela struggled at 8:30 as well.

A funny quirk about Blindspot is that even as it collapsed in the ratings from fall to spring, it also became much more favorable in the timeslot on a year-to-year basis... because it was getting compared against The Night Shift. However, the lineup as a whole was down because The Voice was down.

Superstore: Self-starting comedy successes are pretty rare, but this was the second straight season that produced one (Fresh Off the Boat was one last year).

Telenovela: Wasn't as bad as appeared possible when it previewed to 1.4/0.9 after The Voice. Still, airing in a very high-viewed time of year, these numbers probably didn't get it close to the renewal conversation.

The Voice Spring: Started and ended with 20%ish declines, and only occasionally showed flashes of better. The declines were even a bit steeper than this for the Tuesday episodes, at -22%. It was easily the show's unhealthiest season to date, but still far from being a collapse on American Idol's level. Grade: C.

The Biggest Loser: Even in Plus is usually a win, but it didn't feel like one in this case. Moving from Thursday 8/7c to Monday 9:00-11:00 should've been a timeslot upgrade. It did have to face a very strong The Bachelor in this case, but still... Biggest Loser had a whooping 110 Plus the last time it was on this night. Grade: C.

Blindspot: After performing at big hit levels during the fall, its spring collapse meant it just barely eked out a "hit" label.
